Bonneville Power Administration has decided to enter into an amended land use agreement with the U.S. Navy (Navy) concerning Bonneville’s existing 69-kilovolt (kV) Boardman-to-Ione transmission line. This amended land use agreement authorizes Bonneville’s ongoing access to certain land on the Navy’s Naval Weapon Systems Training Facility Boardman (NWSTF Boardman) in Morrow County, Oregon for approximately 14 miles of the Boardman-to-Ione transmission line, while also including terms to trigger the phased removal of this line off of NWSTF Boardman if the B2H Project is constructed.
